It has been used since long to treat inflammation, auto-immune diseases and dysentery. Studies have also confirmed its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and pharmacological properties.

Gamma-oryzanol was then administered both alone and in combination with clomifene citrate.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>The effects of gamma-oryzanol on estrous cyclicity, fertility, histopathological alterations, estradiol and testosterone levels, and oxidative parameters were evaluated. The results showed that gamma-oryzanol, both alone and in combination with clomifene citrate, had protective effects against the estradiol valerate-induced PCOS rat model. The combination of gamma-oryzanol and clomifene citrate was particularly effective, showing significantly better results than the standard treatment group (clomifene citrate alone).</p></div><div><h3>Discussion</h3><p>These results suggest that gamma-oryzanol could be used in combination with existing standard treatments to enhance the management of PCOS. However, further molecular and clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101013,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacological Research - Modern Chinese Medicine","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667142524001489/pdfft?md5=5f6bcca05a354f4ecd74b244470761fd&pid=1-s2.0-S2667142524001489-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142270557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
